Might as well keep it in the "family". Friend Denny (284Luvr) made me an offer I couldn't refuse on his 1951 M70 in .257 Roberts. Since I had passed on to my nephew the 3rd my family generation P64 M70 fwt in .243 I was short a M70 in the safe and the Bob has been very good to me as a caliber. A MeoPro 3-9 "demo" from Doug and some high mounts and in business. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/Shooting/L1020071_zps53acf464.jpg) Seems to do "fair" with the 110 Accubond load my other Bob likes.  . *sigh* well that was boring.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/Shooting/L1020073_zps95f600cf.jpg)

Very nice rifle and excellent shooting pre 64. Thanks for sharing.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Beaut of a rig Pugs! and you are correct on the "ho-hum", never knew a pre-64 that didn't shoot well. Congrats!

Im big on the .25 bore on Whitetails, I plan to hammer a speed goat or two when the time comes to sell the cattle herd and really retire! Uncounted deer 175 to 215 lbs, 99% were bucks unless a friend put in for a big freezer doe. 90% were bang kick flop. I get little rodeo type moves then down, never had to track or lose one. Coyote Lite mod 70 in 25wssm using 120 PEPs' or 110 gr Accubombs. Same ammos identical loads in a 25.06 shilen barrel 53 pre 64 action with a Borden Rimrock/ Pacific Research stock.
I do not need 2 ,.25 guns so I will sell the Coyote Lite for what I have in her! 800.00 , nice gun ,points and shoots like a mod 12 16ga,nickle steel,24". I will throw in 100 rounds of Win Black box supreme 110 gr accubombs. Sling base and rings go with gun
Leupold VXIII, 4.5X14x48 AO with varmint reticule for 550.00 extra. Will post photo later. I had rather come here first with a known shooter!

Allen,
Glad to see that one stayed within the Fire.
And it has the looks and the accuracy of a real sweetie.

Nice rifle, great group - still in the family - what's not to like!

Nice rifle Pugs, keeping a good rifle in the family is indeed a very good thing, I've seen it a couple three times here myself.
